I’m a hybrid of the Alpine and Mediterranean Caucasoid sub-races, and I want reparations from the descendants of the Huns, pronto!

The classic racial classifications are obsolete. What does one call the child of a black father and a Chinese mother? These classifications detract from rather than aid our understanding of humanity. They should swept away with as they only serve to call attention what divides rather than what unites us. They are the vestige of a bye-gone racist era when skin color and national origin mattered more than the content of one's character and one's values.

We will never be a "color blind" society. Even in societies where extensive race mixing has taken place (such as Brazil), there is still a link between race and social standing.

I would like to see racial categories eliminated, as they are merely a front for an ethnic spoils system? Why categorize white Argentineans alongside mulatto/quadroon Puerto Ricans as "nonwhite", while categorizing semitic and Persian people from the middle east as "white?" Eliminate the damn categories already!
